vmux [1] might be of interest to you. It uses the (n)vim remote API with tmux to maintain a global (n)vim session and redirects files opened via `vmux` back to the global session and switches to the window in tmux that session is visible in. Hints: - use `pipx` [2] to install `vmux` to make it available globally so you don't need to mess around with virtual environments. - just `alias nvim=vmux`, and use `command nvim` if you need the real thing. - I set the following in my profile file: export VMUX_EDITOR="nvim" export VMUX_GLOBAL="true" alias nvim=vmux [1] https://github.com/jceb/vmux/ https://github.com/jceb/vmux/ [2] https://github.com/pypa/pipx/ https://github.com/pypa/pipx/
